Sherman board forecast to OK sewer rate hike

Monday

The Sherman Village Board next month is expected to approve a sewer rate hike passed on by the Springfield Metro Sanitary District.

Trustees' next regular meeting has been rescheduled to Wednesday, May 6, at 7 p.m.

Under the 17-percent rate increase, each Sherman customer will pay a minimum user charge of $11.18 per month for the first 2,000 gallons. For each additional 1,000 gallons, customers will pay an additional $3.75.

The sanitary district is increasing sewer rates by nearly 400 percent over an eight-year period ending in 2016 in order to pay for major improvements.
